"Su Yuan, are you really leaving so soon? Can't you stay just a little longer?"
Furina looked at Su Yuan with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, holding the Hydro Sli—Focalors—in her arms.
"You've done so much... fighting the Eerie, saving Fontaine... and yet now you choose to quietly walk away, hiding your na and your deeds?"
Aether and Paimon both fell into thoughtful silence as they watched the scene unfold.
This felt... strangely familiar.
Back when they were leaving Suru—didn't Nilou say sothing quite similar?
"I'm sorry, Furina. I know there are still many unanswered questions about the Eerie, and leaving so suddenly does seem irresponsible..."
"But you know as well as I do—I'm the hero who must save Teyvat from the Eerie. I can't stop here."
"Right now, Liyue needs ..."
"I've heard the call—and I must answer it, as always!"
Su Yuan recalled a certain ga he'd once played, and with that in mind, struck a slightly dramatic pose and delivered his line with flair.
"Furina, let Su Yuan go..." Neuvillette glanced at Furina, then turned his steady gaze toward Su Yuan and spoke calmly.
"Now that the situation in Fontaine has stabilized and our understanding of the Eerie has deepened..."
"Even without Su Yuan here, we are not completely powerless to fight back."
Neuvillette looked toward Su Yuan.
He was still pondering how exactly Su Yuan had managed to do it yesterday—how a single sentence, as if spoken with divine authority, had compelled him, a fully awakened dragon, to release his grip without resistance.
Su Yuan harbored far too many secrets...
Whether it was that mysterious power he had displayed yesterday, or his uncanny ability to acquire intelligence—
But since Su Yuan wasn't willing to speak of it, Neuvillette chose not to pry.
"By the way, Aether, Paimon—what are your plans now?"
Su Yuan turned to Aether and Paimon.
Originally, resolving the prophecy crisis in Fontaine was ant to be a journey they undertook themselves.
But now, with his sudden arrival into this world, he had, in a way, stolen their spotlight.
"Will you co with to Liyue?"
Aether t Su Yuan's gaze and thought for a mont before responding:
"No... I won't be going to Liyue just yet."
"Now that I know about the Eerie... I'm starting to get worried about the situation in Suru."
"When I left Suru back then, I wanted to say goodbye to Nahida in person, but she politely declined, saying she was too busy with work..."
"Thinking about it now, sothing about that feels off..."
"And then, there's the matter of the teleport waypoints..."
"When I arrived in Fontaine and activated a waypoint, I noticed that instead of the usual pure blue energy, the light was replaced by a pitch-black, crimson color..."
"Looking back, that was very likely the power of the Eerie..."
"Teleport waypoints are directly connected to the ley lines... which indirectly ans the ley lines of Teyvat have already been tainted by the Eerie."
"What I'm most worried about is the current state of the Irminsul... I have to return to Suru and confirm it for myself!"
Aether looked at Su Yuan, reaching out his hand with a serious expression.
"Su Yuan, I'd actually like to invite you to co with to Suru first..."
Su Yuan had to admit—Aether's words made a lot of sense.
But the prompt etched into his right palm urged him to go to Liyue, and that guidance had to take priority...
Just like before—he was only one person.
He couldn't be everywhere at once.
In the end, he couldn't protect everything.
A choice had to be made—sothing had to be given up...
"No, Aether. I still have to head to Liyue..." Su Yuan replied.
"But you—facing the unknown threat of the Eerie and everything else—please, make sure to stay safe."
"Alright then, Su Yuan. Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to stop you..." Aether nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
In his heart, Aether thought—though he couldn't tell anyone about the fact that he possessed the ability to rewind ti, as long as he had that power, he could handle almost any danger with relative ease...
"Well then, everyone—farewell." Su Yuan said with a smile.
"When I have the chance, I'll return to Fontaine."
..............
Fontaine was currently in a critical stage of post-disaster reconstruction, so there was no way Neuvillette could leave easily.
But Su Yuan had considered—if Furina was willing, maybe she could go with him to Liyue.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
He wasn't going to Liyue for sightseeing or leisure—it was to confront the Eerie...
The dangers involved were impossible to predict.
Not to ntion, the conditions for Furina's eerie transformation were closely tied to him.
Having her by his side was far too unstable...
Right now, Fontaine was probably one of the safest places in all of Teyvat.
Coincidentally, Kirara was also heading to Liyue, so Su Yuan decided to travel with her.
In Fontaine's Morte Region, there was a ruin called the Fort Charybdis Ruins.
From there, looking southeast, you could see Mingyuan Mountain in Liyue's Chenyu Vale...
Co to think of it, Su Yuan felt kind of connected to that mountain—their nas both shared the character Yuan.
Even though this was the closest point to Liyue, there was no way Su Yuan and Kirara would cross into Liyue from here.
After all, there was no port here—what were they supposed to do, swim across?
Honestly, Su Yuan didn't mind, but Kirara was a nekomata—she was terrified of water...
As Su Yuan looked at the ruins of the Fort Charybdis Ruins, he couldn't help but feel it looked familiar.
And when he looked at the stairs leading underground, he had a strange feeling—had he... been here before?
Forget it, it's probably just his unusually good mory playing tricks on him again...
After that, Su Yuan followed Kirara to Fontaine's eastern Lumidouce Harbor.
From there, they could take a ship directly to Liyue's Chenyu Vale, docking at the port of Yilong Wharf.
Once aboard, Su Yuan looked back at the gradually receding view of Fontaine, feeling a bit sentintal...
Had his ti in Fontaine really only lasted seven days?
Although not everything had gone perfectly, he could at least say he had no regrets.
"Kirara, by the way—do you know what the current situation in Inazuma is?" Su Yuan turned to Kirara on the boat and asked.
In response to Su Yuan's question, Kirara said:
"Ever since I learned about the existence of the Eerie, I've also been really worried about how things are in Inazuma right now..."
"I just know that, a few days before I left Inazuma, I seed to sense that sothing was off—but I can't quite put my finger on what it was..."
Hearing Kirara's words, Su Yuan fell into thought...
Based on previous intel, even Kamisato Ayato had already been controlled by the Eerie.
If that was true, the current situation in Inazuma was definitely far from optimistic...
And then there's Mondstadt—what's the situation there now?
There hasn't been any news at all...
That good-for-nothing Barbatos... has he even noticed the existence of the Eerie and taken any proper asures in response?
Or worse—has he already been taken over by the Eerie?
As for Snezhnaya and Natlan, when Su Yuan crossed into this world, those regions hadn't even been released in the ga yet.
His understanding of them was still far too limited, so for now, he decided not to worry about them...
But Su Yuan also knew that overthinking things could sotis beco a burden in itself.
For now, he needed to stay focused on Liyue, as guided by the rule prompts from the palm of his right hand...
